Better Angels of Our Nature , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1078min
On the eve of Shiloh, one of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War, a mysterious visitor appears at General William Tecumseh Sherman's camp. Without family or home, with only a uniform and the name of Jesse, this prepossessing stranger is an intriguing mix of naiveté and wisdom, ignorant of the most basic conventions of warfare yet uncannily familiar with even the most intimate details of Sherman's personal life and career. Jesse, in turn, has only one desire: to remain by Sherman's side, for reasons only Jesse knows and isn't revealing. Initially unwilling to become a father figure to this beguiling visitor, Sherman is finally unable to resist such devotion and tenacity. He takes Jesse under his wing, determined to train this enigmatic creature in the art of war, and provide the strength and wisdom needed to survive its horrors. Resourceful and courageous, Jesse soon earns the respect of Sherman’s men, especially the compassionate but plain-talking surgeon, Seth Cartwright, and Thomas Ransom, a noble and handsome young infantry officer. No matter their destiny neither man can divert Jesse’s mission.But what is the truth? What is Jesse’s purpose and why has this fascinating youth appeared at this most crucial time in Sherman’s life and in the life of the bitterly divided nation? In the end we are forced to ask: Who is under whose wing? The Better Angels of Our Nature brilliantly re-creates the drama and brutality of America’s Civil War. Set in the momentous 14-month period spanning Shiloh and Vicksburg - a time that turned the tide of war and determined the nation’s fate - this harrowing, lyrically written novel is filled with unforgettable characters and wondrous twists that will give listeners pause to reconsider events familiar to us all. Meticulously researched and movingly written, this masterwork will remain with listeners long after the last sentence is savored. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Cassandra Campbell.

In My Time: A Personal and Political Memoir, Hörbuch, Digital, 458min
In this eagerly anticipated memoir, former Vice President Dick Cheney delivers an unyielding portrait of American politics over nearly 40 years and shares personal reflections on his role as one of the most steadfast and influential statesmen in the history of our country. The public perception of Dick Cheney has long been something of a contradiction. He has been viewed as one of the most powerful vice presidents: secretive, even mysterious, and at the same time opinionated and unflinchingly outspoken. He has been both praised and attacked by his peers, the press, and the public. Through it all, courting only the ideals that define him, he has remained true to himself, his principles, his family, and his country. Now, in an enlightening and provocative memoir with flashes of surprising humor and remarkable candor, Dick Cheney takes listeners through his experiences as family man, policymaker, businessman, and politician during years that shaped our collective history. Eyewitness to history at the highest levels, Cheney brings to life scenes from the past and present. He describes driving through the White House gates on August 9, 1974, just hours after Richard Nixon resigned, to begin work on the Ford transition; and he portrays a time of national crisis a quarter century later when, on September 11, 2001, he was in the White House bunker and conveyed orders to shoot down a hijacked airliner if it would not divert. With its unique perspective on a remarkable span of American history, In My Time will enlighten. As an intimate and personal chronicle, it will surprise, move, and inspire. Dick Cheney's is an enduring political vision to be reckoned with and admired for its honesty, its wisdom, and its resonance. In My Time is truly the last word about an incredible political era, by a man who lived it and helped define it - with courage and without compromise. Language: English.

Turkey, Pies, and Alibis: Sweetfern Harbor Mystery, Book 5 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 188min
Brenda Sheffield wishes her father would respond to her invitations to visit Sheffield Bed and Breakfast. So far, only silence answers her calls and letters. That her once loving father chooses to widen the gap in their relationship is the only thing missing from Brenda’s happiness. Above all, she hopes he will accept the invitation to her wedding that is coming up in less than a month. Tim Sheffield cannot understand why his only daughter wishes to marry someone who has the lowly career as detective of a small police force in a town like Sweetfern Harbor. When Tim arrives without anyone knowing he is coming, he demands a room in an already-booked weekend. It is Thanksgiving, and Sweetfern Harbor has many tourists arriving by the hour. Brenda’s bed-and-breakfast has been booked for months. She knows if she sends her father to the local hotel, he may very well fast return to Michigan rather than stick around with her. There is only one solution, and that is to book the tourist couple Rachel and Nick Bernard into the historic hotel in town. She assures the upset couple, who opted to stay beyond their two-night booking, that the inn will foot the bill for a luxurious room in the historic hotel. A day later, the Sheffield Bed and Breakfast float is completed and ready for the celebratory parade downtown.

Secret of Dreams , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 43min
Everybody dreams, but there are few who place any importance to the phenomena of sleep. Before we can begin to comprehend or even analyze dreams, whether our dreams are symbolic or otherwise, we must first divert from our mind our materialistic conceptions of what the individual called man really is. The external or physical man, is no more the man than the coat he wears. The physical man is only an instrument of which the real inner man or soul expresses itself in the physical universe. Various materialistic theories have been given in the past, trying to explain the mighty phenomena of dreams, but these theories have always been more or less unsatisfactory. Why? Because the-materialist tries to explain the riddle of human existence without an individual human spirit his explanation will always be unsatisfactory. Dreams afford a separation of soul and body. As soon as the senses become torpid, the inner man withdraws from the outer. There are three different ways which afford this separation. First, natural sleep. Second, induced sleep, such as hypnotism, mesmerism or trance. Third, death. In the above two cases the man has only left his physical body temporarily, whereas in death he has left it forever. In the case of death, the link which unites soul and body, as seen by clairvoyant vision, is broken, but in trance or sleep it is released. The real man is then in the astral world. He now functions in his astral body, which becomes a vehicle for expressing consciousness, just as the physical body is an instrument for expressing consciousness in the waking state. Consciousness is not annihilated when the man is in the Astral world, it is only temporarily suspended. Just the same as in the case of death. The man is fully conscious in the astral regions clothed in the body of the Astral matter. This Astral body is in the physical and extends little beyond it. The Astral world is here and now, interpenetrating the physical, and not in some remote region above the c ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Yacki Raizizun.

Sing Her Name (eBook, ePUB)
Sing Her Name follows two musically gifted women whose lives overlap across the boundaries of time. This third novel by Rosalyn Story, whose critically acclaimed books treat the central role of Black people in American music, is her best and most rewarding yet. Beautiful and brilliantly talented Celia DeMille is a nineteenth-century concert artist who has garnered fame, sung all over the world, and amassed a fortune. But prejudice bars her from achieving her place in history as one of the world's greatest singers, and she dies in poverty and obscurity. In 21st-century New Orleans, Eden Malveaux, a thirty-something waitress with a beautiful but untutored voice, is the sole guardian of her 17-year-old brother. Motherless for most of their lives, she has struggled for years to make ends meet as she fights to keep the promise she made to their dying father: to protect her wayward brother and raise him as if he were her own child. After a hurricane displaces them to New York City, Eden seeks safe refuge-not only from the ensuing flood, but also to hide her brother from the law, while she works to divert him from a path of crime, prison, or worse. Months into their New York stay, Eden's estranged Great Aunt Julia summons her back to New Orleans for a brief visit, and the older woman gives Eden something that alters the course of her life: a box she found in the midst of flooded rubble containing a hundred-year-old scrapbook and a mysterious and valuable gold pendant necklace belonging to one of the greatest singers in history-Celia DeMille. Eden returns to New York, but as she explores the artifacts of Celia DeMille's extraordinary life, curiosity grows into obsession, then into an inspiration that propels Eden into a world she never dreamed. With the help of new friends, and buoyed by the diva's story, Eden's new life in New York takes a dramatic turn toward unimagined success. But just as she is poised to make her mark on the world stage, her brother's dangerous choices catch up with them, and Eden must confront buried secrets from her complicated childhood. To face the promise of her future, Eden must first reconcile years of regrets and leave behind the guilt of the past-and perhaps even the brother she loves.- Shop: buecher

Don't be scared,it's about life
Newcomer des Monats in Sonic Seducer und Orkus 11/2012. DER Geheimtipp 2012. Böse, finster und bedrohlich! Eine elektronischen Klanghölle. Ein Statement gegen belanglose elektronische Kompositionen.Das französische Trio ist eine Ausnahmeerscheinung im Elektro-Industrial-Bereich, denn sie verbinden Elemente von Hiphop & Dubstep mit heftigstem Industrial der Marke Skinny Puppy oder kAlte fArben. Darüber hinaus sind sie seit langem eine der ersten Bands, die die Aggression ihrer Musik glaubwürdig auf die Bühne projizieren kann, ohne zu einer bloßen Kopie ihrer musikalischen Vorbilder zu mutieren. CHRYSALIDE sind nicht ein Geheimtipp in der harten Elektro-Industrial-Szene - sie sind DER Geheimtipp 2012. Ihr Album Dont Be Scared - It's About Life wird unerfahrenen Hörern zunächst wie ein Mühlstein im Magen liegen - aufgrund seiner kompromisslosen Härte und Aggressivität. Aber hier und da schälen sich plötzlich Melodien und Harmonien aus dem Kontext der elektronischen Klanghölle. Im Gegensatz zu ihren Vorbildern transportieren CHRYSALIDE primär eher Rhythmen und Grooves als Samples und Flächen, und trotzdem bleibt das seit langer Zeit nicht erlebte Gefühl, endlich mal wieder eine fordernde Platte gehört zu haben, die ihre Qualitäten nur widerwillig und nach einiger Mühe preisgibt, und gerade deswegen dem Hörer viel zu bieten hat. Auch eine Fokussierung des Albums auf die Globalisierung - wie sich ändernde Machtverhältnisse von Ökonomie, Politik und Finanzkrisen im europäischen Kontext und die (noch) hilflose Perspektive des Individuums auf die neuen Kräfte denen es nun unterworfen ist, - ist mittlerweile in der Industrial-Szene nur noch mit der Lupe zu finden. Don't Be Scared - It's About Life ist nicht nur ein hervorragendes Album, es ist ein Statement gegen belanglose elektronische Kompositionen, für mehr politisches Bewusstsein und für mitreißende, verstörende elektronische Musik, und in aller letzter Konsequenz für höchste musikalische Authentizität. TRACKS: 1. Who's still alive? 2. Traders must die 3. Cybernetic babies 4. I do not divert eyes 5. Anger is a show 6. Fu++ing doubt 7. Let the bombs fall 8. Let's talk about this during dinner 9. Lizzie and the charming prince 10. Not my world 11. Give me something stronger 12. The last candle 13. (...) 14. They won't get us 15. 2010 16. Lovetape 17. Rest in silence my friend- Shop: odax
